- Maiden European victory in Nogaro ...
After savouring success in the French and German championships, Hexis Racing achieved an historicfirst European victory in Nogaro. The team’s two youngest drivers, Thomas Accary and Pierre-Brice Mena, drove a peerless Race 1, handing the squad from Gard a result that bodes well for their title hopes. Of course, two titles would be better than one, so Dubai in December is firmly in the team’s sights, too!
..and a surprise in store for Magny-Cours!
After the good results it obtained in GT3 - with more to come - it comes as no surprise to see Hexis Racing moving towards GT1! It’s only a one-off but the surprise package is such a prestigious and handsome one that it would be a shame to miss it! Philippe Dumas, who will share the wheel of a Ferrari 550 Maranello with Pedro Lamy in the final of the French FFSA GT championship at Magny-Cours, filled us in on the details. «The idea for the project came from the Dor family at Care Racing. They want to demonstrate that this car is operational and capable of winning races in a decent GT1 championship in France. This is the car that turns out in FIA GT for ACA Argentina, driven by former F1 racing drivers Esteban Tuero and Gaston Mazzacane. As Larbre Compétition already has two Saleens entered for Magny-Cours and is going flat out for the French Champion’s title with Bouchut and Bornhauser, Jack Leconte has asked us to take care of the Ferrari. A Larbre mechanic will be helping us out and we’ll have a mechanic and an engineer from Solution F for the engine. For us at Hexis Racing, the opportunity to race a car like this one and to support a driver of Pedro Lamy’s calibre is bound to be a fantastic experience and educational. Not only is Pedro an official Peugeot Sport driver, poleman in the Spa 24 Hour race and former Grand Prix driver, but he is also widely appreciated as a great person.»
